Environments and portraits look nice but the sprites look bad imo.

I kinda get why they did it, perhaps the difference in sharpness between the environments and sprites would look a bit jarring. At this point with the level of smoothing I don’t see why they wouldn’t just use cel shaded models aside from being lazy.

the FF pixel remasters got things like the font and all fixed pretty quickly so I'm assuming there'll be a sprite replacement mod day of release

Speaking of the pixel remasters why are they not on console yet.

Other Square properties deserve a remaster with the kind of love and care SaGa Frontier got and I hope some day they'll get it

They also keep releasing "balance updates", FF6 just got an update early this month. It's bizarre. Especially FF6 which is already extremely easy.

Finally, 28 years after its release, someone out there had the loving balls needed to give Odin +2 speed on level up. Stay winning king.

Thinking about how good ffxvi is gonna be. Vii remake had such good combat. Just feels like they figured out the best aspects from the battle systems of so many previous titles and smoothly blended them into something really special.

Playing xiii now and having a lot of fun with it again. Appreciate how quickly it moves along.

Let me take you for a ride.
Been playing FFXIV alot, now I wanna play some of the older FFs. Out of all the versions of FF4, which one is the best? I've always started that one but kept falling off.

DS one is great but weirdly hard, I enjoyed the PR one that's pretty easy breezy but still very fun.

Pixel remaster or PSP version is probably the best

PR is the best, it's basically the original + quality of life stuff. PSP has the most stuff but a lot of it is bullcrap, GBA is the same except horribly buggy so don't play it. I love the 3D version but it's a bad place to start.

Apr 22, 2008

i love the 3d version but it's not where you want to start with it. it's probably better for a replay on hard mode, which was how the DS version shipped

emulate the snes game imo if you think you would like the quaint original translation otherwise do the pixel remaster

Best Buy either broke street date or way overestimated how long it would take me to receive my package so I got my copy of Crisis Core Reunion in yesterday. I’ve only had about an hour and a half to play it so far but I like what I’ve seen so far. I never played the original so I don’t know how close it is, my understanding is that it’s mostly just a graphical upgrade and some QOL changes.

Combat is superficially pretty similar to FF7R but simpler—just one character and you just have your basic attacks, four materia and ability slots, and limit breaks—and there’s a lot of it so it may get repetitive but I guess we’ve got like 6 months until FF7R-2 even if there aren’t any delays so you can play it in bite-sized chunks here and there. There’s a slot machine constantly running in the top-left of the screen and frequently popping off effects like giving you buffs or unlocking limit breaks etc when things line up which is fun.

I’m also liking Zack a lot as a protagonist, he’s kind of a goofy dork, sort of annoying in an endearing way somehow. He reminds me of MGS2 Raiden without the grim front. I’m looking forward to getting deeper in the game and finding out more about him since it seems like he’s going to play a bigger role in the 7 remakes than the original.

lucky, have fun with the game. i think rebirth is coming winter of 2023 and only for playstation 1st just like remake. currently debating if i should borrow my friends ps5 to play it on release or try to go dark on the game til the PC release, which may be impossible since i consider everything a spoiler and modern day internet/algorithms tell you poo poo no matter what.

Lol cool. I remember liking what little I played of it on PSP but the slot machine thing was weird. I’ll definitely check out the remake
